One great thing about chalkboard paint is that whatever you write or draw on it can change the mood of the room. This tall antique cabinet was a Craigs List find last winter-- it used to hold boots...
Ahhh, yellow. We've been craving more of it in our life lately. We're also constantly thinking about how to create simple, affordable desks for our clients or for our own office space. So when ...
In a small space, architectural details like this are invaluable—if you just keep an open mind. We spotted this tiny home office nook while at a house party in Jamaica Plain and couldn't resist sna...
We have a friend with a delightful collection of vintage toys. She inspires us by using her toys sparingly to enhance her decor; it never feels over the top. So when we happened upon this old, ro...
Does anyone else have counter-tops that show rings when you put things down on them? We do. As much as we love the look of fireslate, people rightfully warned us everything would make a mark. But...
Much to our chagrin, we’ve never had a big budget for original artwork. So we need to get creative. While rummaging through our family’s basement, we discovered a sibling’s simple assignmen...
Remember Hi-Q? We were addicted to that challenging red-peg solitaire game when we were growing up. Here's a more social version that dinner guests can play while waiting for everyone else to show ...
A couple of years ago we spotted British designer Charlotte Tangye online and snatched up one of her Footprint shoe racks for a sandal-obsessed friend. It's kind of like a sculpture, and she uses i...
One of our favorite spots in Cambridge's Central Square has one of the coolest ideas for dining tables......
The term “treehugging” sometimes gets a bad rap, though less so in the post-Inconvenient Truth-era. When we visited our family’s place in the White Mountains of New Hampshire this past weeken...
We relish our old bathroom sink; it’s decrepit but it’s original to our 1907 home in Jamaica Plain and for that we remain faithful. Granted, it can get a little irksome to not be able to genera...
We have a new addition to our home—an 11-week-old French Bulldog puppy named Bacon—and he has us looking at our apartment in a whole new way...on all fours......
Our bathroom is very small to begin with, so the fact that the door opens inward is not good design since it chews up the precious little space that's already there. So when we saw our friend's mi...
We had milk glass in our minds after looking at the sweet vintage giveaway that AT SF did last Thursday. Then when we saw our friend Maggie's stunning collection this weekend, we wanted to revisit ...
While stuck in the airport with a delayed flight and a few large, artificially-colored drinks, we spotted this giant sign looming overhead. Maybe it's because we don’t spend much time in suburban ...
We're putting together a great tour of this beautiful house in rural New Hampshire for next week. Until then, we thought we'd share this picture of their rock garden as garden month here on AT nears...
We fantasize about someday revamping our old, tiny bathroom, when the budget allows. We wouldn't be able to expand its ultimate size so instead we ponder creative ways to reconfigure the sink, show...
We love creative headboards and we've been sleeping under this one for years without really noticing just how creative it is......
We popped into Mohr & McPherson’s clearance center last week and discovered these great side tables from India. They’re 20” square and constructed of Shesham wood, also known as Indian Rosew...
flickr photo by Jim Sissman Sometimes, up here in New England, cars signal "home." And our home obsessions occasionally creep into other parts of our lives. We’ve been in love ever since spotting a...
There are yard sales and then there are YARD SALES. Our neighbor, Mark Waters, has his own Junk Removal and Estate Cleanout service so he has a steady stream of treasures, which he warehouses and r...
Trolling through our email we stumbled upon these great pics from Jeanine, who just started as one of our brand new Boston bloggers (she sent in this email in March!). It not only shows an impressi...
